Maintaining healthy vaginal microflora post-puberty is critical. In this study we explore the potential of vaginal lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their extracellular metabolites against the pathogenicity of Candida albicans. The probiotic culture free supernatant (PCFS) from Lactobacillus crispatus, L. gasseri, and L. vaginalis exhibit an inhibitory effect on budding, hyphae, and biofilm formation of C. albicans. LGPCFS manifested the best potential among the LAB PCFS, inhibiting budding for 24 h and restricting hyphae formation post-stimulation...

We aimed to evaluate moxifloxacin steady-state concentrations in infected bone and soft tissue and to explore the additive microbiological and pathological treatment effect of rifampicin to standard moxifloxacin treatment of implant-associated osteomyelitis (IAO). 16 pigs were included. On Day 0, IAO was induced in the proximal tibia using a susceptible Staphylococcus aureus strain. On Day 7, the pigs underwent one-stage exchange surgery of the IAO lesions and were randomized to receive seven days of intravenous antibiotic treatment of either rifampicin combined with moxifloxacin or moxifloxacin monotherapy...

Dielma fastidiosa is a gram-negative, anaerobic rod belonging to the family Erysipelotrichaceae. D. fastidiosa has previously been isolated in human stool samples as part of the commensal flora; however, prior to this case, it has never been identified as a human pathogen. We present the first case of bacteraemia with D. fastidiosa. Bacterial growth in the blood culture bottle was detected by the automated blood culture system BacT/ALERT 3D. Culturing was performed, and bacterial colonies were identified as D...

Good's syndrome, an infrequent adult-onset immunodeficiency is characterized by the triad of thymoma, hypogammaglobulinemia, and increased susceptibility to recurrent infections. The clinical presentation is highly variable, with a spectrum ranging from recurrent bacterial and opportunistic infections to concomitant autoimmune diseases and, sometimes malignant pathologies. Due to heterogeneous clinical phenotypes and the lack of adequate diagnostic criteria, its recognition is often challenging, even delaying it by years...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections affecting millions worldwide. The increasing emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become a serious concern in managing UTIs. Therefore, there is a growing interest in using bacteriophages as an alternative or adjunct therapy for UTIs. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and kill bacteria, making them a promising tool for treating UTIs caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This article provides a quick outlook on using bacteriophages to treat UTIs...

As one of the malignant tumors with high incidence rate and high mortality, lung cancer seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Research shows that microorganisms are closely related to lung cancer. The microbiome is symbiotic with the host and plays a vital role in the functions of the human body. Microbiota dysbiosis is correlated with development of lung cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This paper summarizes the composition characteristics of the gut-lung axis microbiome and intratumoral microbiome in patients with lung cancer...

Human rhinovirus 16 (HRV16) may induce inflammatory and antiviral responses in the human lung vascular endothelium (ECs) and impair its barrier functions after infection. However, ECs may regain barrier and metabolic functions. Mechanisms of limitation of HRV16 infection in the lung vascular endothelium are unknown. Human lung vascular endothelium (HMVEC-L) was infected with HRV16. IFN-β, OAS-1, and PKR expression was assessed by real-time PCR, flow cytometry, and confocal microscope. To prove the significance of IFN-β in the limitation of HRV16 replication, HMVEC-Ls were preincubated with anti-IFN-β Abs...

Fibrosis is one of the most worrisome complications of chronic inflammatory diseases, leading to tissue damage, organ failure, and ultimately, death. The most notable pathological characteristic of fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and fibronectin adjacent to foci of inflammation or damage. The human microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4), an important member of the superfamily of fibrinogen-related proteins, is considered to have an extremely important role in ECM transformation of fibrogenesis...

The vaginal microecology comprises the vaginal microbiome, immune microenvironment, vaginal anatomy, and the cervicovaginal fluid, which is rich in metabolites, enzymes, and cytokines. Investigating its role in the female reproductive system holds paramount significance. The advent of next-generation sequencing enabled a more profound investigation into the structure of the vaginal microbial community in relation to the female reproductive system. Human papillomavirus infection is prevalent among women of reproductive age, and persistent oncogenic HPV infection is widely recognized as a factor associated with cervical cancer...

Candida albicans is frequently identified as a colonizer of the oral cavity in health and has recently been termed a "keystone" commensal due to its role on the bacterial communities. However, the role that C. albicans plays in such interactions is not fully understood. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the relationship between C. albicans and bacteria associated with oral symbiosis and dysbiosis. To do this, we evaluated the ability of C. albicans to support the growth of the aerobic commensal Streptococcus gordonii and the anaerobic pathogens Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis in the biofilm environment...

The prevalence of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is growing in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is increasingly recognized in immunocompetent hosts and immunocompromised ones. IPA frequently complicates both severe influenza and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. It continues to represent both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge and can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In this narrative review, we describe the epidemiology, risk factors and disease manifestations of IPA...
